Chapter 217 Big Hat Harden
Back on the court, the timer showed three minutes and 16 seconds left.

Capela made the second free throw and the score became 106:109.

Next came the Warriors' offensive round.

At this time, the Rockets' players on the field are Harden, Paul, Tucker, Capela and Gordon.

The Warriors are He Pan, Clay, Durant, Nick Young and Green.

He Pan acts as a point guard.

However, it is clear that the actual organizer of this lineup is Green.

When Curry is not on the court, McCaw and Livingston are not on the court, it is usually Green who advances to half court and then supports at the top of the arc.

Even if Cook, who came from the Development League, is on the court, it is generally the same.

Nothing else, just don't worry.

Novices are timid and prone to mistakes, which is very common.

Green dribbled to the frontcourt, and it was Capela who defended him.

Now teams defending Green generally take a step or two back.

After all, Green's three-point shooting percentage is not high, only 31.8%.

In addition, if Green is not helpless at the top of the arc, he rarely takes three-pointers. He always wants to pass the ball and assist. Therefore, when other teams defend Green, they dare to step back and help defend others.

Capela took two steps back to defend Green.

In this case, if the opponent's defense is focused and disciplined, it will be difficult for the Warriors to run out of space.

Even if both Curry and Klay are on the court.

After all, as the big devil of the league and the common enemy of all teams, the Warriors' routines have been studied countless times by various teams.

The defender is chasing after him, and if he can't catch up, he calls his teammates to change defense. If he can do this, he can restrict most of the running without the ball.

If there is a tacit understanding between the teammates after the defense is changed, the big man on the other side can switch positions with the small man who is changing defense at the basket in time, that is top defense.

If this step can be achieved, basically the Warriors' off-ball running is meaningless.

The Rockets' defense this season is still good, especially when facing the Warriors.

Nick Young and Clay crossed two or three laps in the crowd, but in the end they still couldn't find an open space.

Ten seconds have passed.

At this time, it is necessary to adopt the second set of tactics.

There is no chance to run two or three laps, which means that the opponent's defense is very targeted and the focus is on this, and it is very likely that there will be no chance to run two or three laps.

A set of tactics cannot be used to death.

No matter how good tactics are used, the opponent will have a solution.

Seeing that there was no space available, Green immediately waved to Durant.

Durant immediately circled out.

It was Tucker who defended Durant.

This is a short defensive titan.

When Klay and Nick Young saw Durant taking the ball, they understood that this was the second set of tactics, and they immediately stood on the left and right outside the three-point line on both sides of the bottom corner.

Gordon and Harden stared at the two of them closely.

Clay and Nick Young must never be let go.

Clay didn't feel good in this game, but for a top shooter, even if he didn't make a single shot before, he couldn't relax for a second.

This was the case with Ray Allen's desperate three-pointer in the Heat.

Nick Young felt very good in this game, and he is not afraid of anything, so he can't let it go.

He Pan stood outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left, and Paul was two steps away from him.

Paul has very experienced defensive experience. He knows that only He Pan can put down the Warriors lineup.

To be able to allow the coach to replace Curry at a critical moment, there must be two brushes.

However, no matter what, He Pan is also a novice, and no matter how powerful a novice is, he is still a novice.

Experience and mentality need to be accumulated bit by bit.

Durant took the basketball from Green, who immediately put Tucker aside.

Capela immediately took two steps up and came to Durant.

The Rockets' defensive strategy is also infinitely changing defenses.

That's exactly what the Warriors want.

As long as the defense is changed, Durant is basically misplaced against anyone.

The insider is tall, I'll jump at you.

Outside small guard, I vote for you.

This is how Durant played TT and Irving against the Cavaliers in the Finals last year.

As soon as Paul saw Capela switching defenses, he immediately took a step in the middle, ready to help defend at any time.

The defense assistance at this time is usually fake, just to scare you.

Durant has been the boss for many years and is still very experienced.

Seeing Capela coming up, Green immediately walked outside the three-point line on the left.

Tucker had no choice but to keep up.

Durant quickly dribbled the ball a few times facing Capela, suddenly changed direction to the left, and rushed past Capela's left side.

Who knows, Tucker suddenly gave up on Green, took two steps back and stood in front of Durant.

In an instant, it became Paul defending He Pan and Green.

Tucker is a defensive champion. He is not tall, has relatively fast speed, excellent strength, and sufficient defensive experience.

With Tucker in front of Durant and Capela in the back, it's not a good choice to play hard.

Without hesitation, Durant immediately passed the ball to Green.

Paul was already ready to switch defenses, and quickly stood in front of Green.

Green quickly transferred the ball to He Pan.

Gordon in the bottom corner was defending Nick Young. He took a step towards He Pan, gestured with his hands, and then stopped.

Nick Young and He Pan, Gordon must choose to defend Nick Young.

After practicing at the critical moment of the last game against the Cavaliers, He Pan already has some experience.

In addition, He Pan's shot is the same as Curry's, very fast and decisive, so He Pan raised his hand and threw the basketball without any hesitation.

During this period of time, with the help of the system, He Pan's training was not in vain!

The basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air and hits the net!
Three points!

The score became 109:109.

Gordon waved his hand helplessly.

Paul glanced at He Pan, shook his head, and said nothing.

I would like to bet and admit defeat. After playing for so long, I still have this kind of tolerance.

Looking back, it's time for the Rockets to attack.

Harden dribbled to the frontcourt, and it was Klay who defended him.

Green defends Capela, Durant defends Tucker, Nick Yang defends Gordon, and He Pan can only defend Paul.

Harden gave Paul a wink, and Paul immediately came to Harden and blocked Clay.

Obviously, the rookie He Pan is a defensive loophole for the Warriors.

In terms of singles strength, Harden, who is at his peak, is still stronger than the 32-year-old Paul.

What's more, facing He Pan, Harden's physical advantage is also more obvious.

Harden dribbles past Paul, who walks to the other side and takes Klay away.

All of a sudden, He Pan switched to Harden.

This is where the Rockets are stronger than last season.

Two stars pick and roll, which one do you dare to attack?
Don't dare!
Then only switch defenses.

Harden glanced at He Pan, sneered, and accelerated his dribble.

He Pan bent down, raised his right hand, and was ready to defend.

Harden's position is outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.

He Pan did not stand directly in front of Harden, but stood on the left front of Harden.

As a veteran NBA fan, He Pan watches the game very seriously.

Especially after the system settled in, He Pan watched at least two games every day, and they were all live broadcasts. Therefore, He Pan was familiar with the characteristics of almost all the main players in the NBA.

He Pan is even more familiar with super giants like Harden.

He Pan was speechless every time he saw the defensive player being tricked by Harden's fake move and passing from his right side!
Harden is a left-hander. If he breaks from the right side of the defender to the basket, whether it is a layup or a foul, his success rate is very high.

And once he is forced to go to the right side, that is, the left side of the defender, Harden's shooting rate to the basket is very low.

Generally speaking, if Harden walks to his right side, he is much less likely to draw a foul.

I'd rather let you go up to the basket with your right hand, than let you break through with your left hand!
This is a very good probability problem.

Why is Robertson so good at defending Harden?

Because Robertson's defensive principles are implemented very thoroughly!
Just don't let Harden break through with his left hand!
He Pan thought about this as soon as he came in front of Harden.

Although He Pan's height is quite different from Harden's, He Pan is not afraid at all!
Harden still doesn't have much to do with small guards who are fast and tough.

The last time I played against the Clippers, a 183 second-round pick Evans made Harden very uncomfortable!
At the last minute, Evans also caused Harden two offensive fouls!
The same thing happened to Smart when he played against the Celtics.

As long as he can keep up, keep in front of Harden's left at all times, and don't suffer in terms of strength, Harden will be very uncomfortable.

A three-pointer?

can.

But as long as the defender is not out of position, no one's three-point shooting rate will be too high!
You know he won't jump up and block you?

Don't you need to pick up the basketball from the ground when you shoot?
As long as you pick it up, the raised hand may be knocked off for you!

Therefore, as long as the opponent does not lose his position, forcing a three-pointer is definitely not a good choice!

What's more, Harden's physical advantage is very obvious, and the opponent is an unknown rookie. If he chooses to pull out at this time, it will be too embarrassing!
Harden quickly dribbled the ball under his crotch, observing He Pan's movements.

No matter how fancy Harden dribbles, and no matter how He Pan moves, he just stands firmly in front of Harden's left!
Harden frowned: "This kid is a bit difficult to deal with!"

Glancing at He Pan's thin body, Harden sneered, bowed his head and rushed to the front right.

He Pan immediately took a step back and stood in front of Harden's left again!
Harden took a step forward, He Pan took a step back, but He Pan remained on Harden's left front!

In addition, He Pan raised both hands high, explaining very clearly!

The two were already very close, and Harden's left arm protecting the ball had already touched He Pan.

At such a close distance, it is difficult for Harden to calmly collect the ball and shoot.

It can't go on like this!
Harden frowned, and while dribbling the ball with his right hand, he secretly pushed forward with his left hand.

You're so small, with your body, you'll fly away if you touch it!

Harden thought to himself.

Who knows, He Pan didn't move at all!
kindness?This kid has good strength!

Harden pushed hard with his left arm and pushed it out again!
He Pan still didn't move!
Harden was in a hurry.

I can't even handle a brat, so what kind of talk is that!

Harden bent over and bumped towards He Pan with his left shoulder.

Harden's strength is already great among defenders, coupled with his weight of more than 200 kilograms, this collision is not something ordinary people can bear!
He Pan has great strength, but his weight is too light!
A huge force hit him, and He Pan immediately took two steps back.

Green yelled at the basket: "Push! Offensive foul!"

Harden and Paul have a lot of similar small moves in offense.

But there is no way, he is super giant, and now it is the principle of offensive advantage, this kind of action is difficult to be blown out.

The referee was taken aback, but in the end he didn't blow the whistle.

Fortunately, He Pan's strength is strong enough. With the help of the system, he has exercised his core strength very well. Although he took two steps back, He Pan did not lose his center of gravity.

Harden had just put away the ball and was about to raise his hand to shoot, but he didn't expect He Pan to pounce on him so quickly.

However, time is running out, and Harden has already collected the ball and made a shooting action. If he stops and fails to pass, he will probably violate the time limit.

Harden bit the bullet and threw the ball.

However, He Pan didn't give Harden a chance to make a shot. He stretched out his right hand and slapped Harden's half-raised basketball.

With a bang, the basketball was knocked down at once!

Harden was hated by He Pan!
Face to face cap off!

hat!
